Abstract
|
|
|
|
Coracoid impingement syndrome results from abnormal contact between the anterosuperior humerus and the coracoacromial arch. The coracoid impingement may occur from traumatic, idiopathic, or iatrogenic causes. Traumatic causes of coracoid impingement include fractures of scapular neck, coracoid process or lesser tuberosity. Coracoid impingement due to lesser tuberosity malunion is a rare disease and most of them were treated by open procedures. The authors present a case of coracoid impingement caused by malunion after isolated lesser tuberosity fracture which was treated by arthroscopic coracoplasty with percutaneous screw fixation.
